Stems simple, Leaves linear-lanceolate, shining, stem-clasping, sepals acute, flowers golden yellow: I think Pankaj ji s right S. brachypoda.

I don't have much literature with me here so I rely on mostly FBI and Flora Simlensis carried in my hard disc here and eFloras plus net for most conclusions. I am aware of the fact that lot of species have been added, names changed, which can't be found at GRIN or other nomenclature sources on the net.
